Returning to Rockin’

So they came out this with No Doubt track pack? Say what you will about where Stefani went after No Doubt, but damn, they had some good songs. So I bought the pack, even though it was a bit expensive, and I was not disappointed. It’s got every single No Doubt song you’d ever want. Well, I’d ever want, anyway. It’s nice. I’ve been having a lot of fun belting those out.

But the point is, I suppose, that it got me to boot up Rock Band 2 again. Man, that game is still so great. I can just come back to it and sing again and again. And maybe it’s sad that I’ve spent this much money on DLC or just a sign of how awesome the game is, but I seriously have so many Rock Band songs now that I play on random and still get songs I don’t recognize, or just have completely different experiences every time because tracks are never repeated. Unless I want them to be. This is how a music game should be, dammit.
So yeah, I spent hours singing, and then Spaeth came over and I sang for a few more, during which I bought one more new song, Tempted. We discovered it was about as Spaeth was completely randomly going through and previewing tracks for sale. It was only a buck! It is hella fun to sing, though “put you asleep” easy on everything else. But who cares, I just sing. It was a great surprise to find that song, but even more of a surprise to find it was by the same band that brought us Cool for Cats. What. The. Fuck. Could these two songs be more different? Mind=blown.
We also found out that a three-pack of songs by a band named Locksley seem to have a ton of awesome potential and might get bought in the future. Also, two of the three songs by Siouxie and the Banshees seem pretty great, too. I’ll have to consider all these for future pickup.

But seriously, I don’t know. It may be expensive buying all these plastic instruments, but dammit, this game has legs. I’m willing to pay that much for a game I come back to over and over again. I totally am.
